Websphere Application Server App Starting Weight == 0

[Chuck Herrick]

If you set the starting weight of an application in Websphere Application Server admin console to 0, will the application NOT start on server start?

Nope.

I can find no way to tell WAS that an installed application should NOT start on server start up.

Chuck,
From the admin console, you can select:
Enterprise Applications > <APPNAME> > Target specific application status
and disable the autostart of the application.

Thanks.

I'm in Websphere Process Server v 6.02 (wraps around WAS) and I don't see that option. I'm seeing under Configuration 3 sub headings,
General Properties, Additional Properties and Related Items.

The only "target" I see is under Additional Properties and it's called Target Mappings.

Thoughts?

Again, thanks for your help!

Chuck,
You should be able to script your way to getting this setup.

The field which you are looking for in deployment.xml of the application

    
<appdeployment:Deployment ...
   <deployedObject ...
       <targetMappings ... enable=true ... <!-- set to false>

Here is a link to get you started with the script, it will get you to the deployObject of the application.

Ah, now I'm seeing something.

In the WPS Admin Console under Enterprise Applications > someApp > Target Mappings > server1 there is a check box labled "enabled".

This is checked by default. I unchecked it and did the "save" boogie.

I'm guessing that should get it. I'll bounce the server and see.

Many thanks!

Yep. That seems to do it.
